Wow, I found a great ESL tool today! I’m writing a book for a guy in Malaysia right now about getting backlinks for your site. One that I was looking into was creating cartoons to draw traffic to your site. While exploring sites that allow you to create those cartons I stumbled on one that is great for ESL classes. The name of the site is Make Belief Comix and I wish I would’ve known about it when I was teaching ESL. Here’s a look at the cartoon I was able to make in less than 10 minutes:

Each comic can be three panes long, and you have a wide selection of things to choose from for your ESL cartoon. They include:

Multiple characters;

Thought and conversation bubbles;

Background colors;

Story titles.

That’s a lot of great stuff, and if you have a one-one-one ESL student you can probably make one right on the computer. If you don’t you can go to the site and make up cartoon templates. Here’s one that I made real quick:

ESL Students Can Write Anything!

That’s pretty simple and it took me a few minutes. It doesn’t have to look real fancy for your ESL students to enjoy it. Here are a few ways you can benefit:

If you make a dozen templates you can easily print one in a rush before class;

Students have fun doing this in pairs or small groups, giving you a rest;

It’s great for presenting to parents and can take about 3 minutes each group;

You have something that shows writing, teamwork, creativity, spelling, and grammar.
